New Restaurant & Bar

If you've sipped a cold beer at Lynnwood Brewing recently, you've probably seen the construction happening at the corner of the Dock 1053's parking lot & East Whitaker Mill Rd. We'd like to be the first to introduce you to Wilson's -- Lynnwood Brewing's new restaurant & bar. We caught up with Ted, the owner of Lynnwood Brewing, to get the deets behind Dock 1053's newest addition.

An extension of Lynnwood Brewing, Wilson's is lovingly named after Ted's dog. The menu is still being developed and perfected, but its main focus will be delicious flatbread pizzas and crafted sandwiches, with additional rotating items to keep patrons coming back for more. Wilson's plans on serving several house-made sodas & mixers in their craft cocktails with a preference for local and NC products including Dock 1053 neighbors, Pinetop Distillery. While we all loved the food trucks that frequent Lynnwood Brewing, this will serve as a permanent solution with multiple food & drink options.

"Wilson’s was created to fill a void in this growing market and to keep our Taproom customers happy," says Ted. "It allows us to integrate the beer garden and outdoor patio into one cohesive space and keep up with the growing demand for our beers."

Wilson's hopes to be open sometime in August, definitely by Labor Day. Stay tuned for more info and updates. Welcome to the neighborhood, Wilson's!

Our members Activate Good are partnering with our Neighbors at Lynnwood Brewing Concern to connect individuals across Raleigh, who are looking to Do Others Good. If you're searching for opportunities to get involved and give back to our community, search no more. Head over to Dock 1053 on April 29th and learn about local nonprofits and the incredible opportunities available for individuals to volunteer and donate!

“Loading Dock was certainly unique. Being that it’s an old loading dock, it’s a pretty cool space. It’s got that industrial feel. And also, the other things attached to The Loading Dock, whether it’s the brewery, or the furniture and clothing store, the glass studio, and now there’s a cocktail bar and things like that. It’s just a really cool area. There’s a lot of people coming here for different reasons and I definitely want to be a part of that, and around that.”

"I love people and other dogs. I love to chase squirrels and cats. I'm faster than a cheetah but slower than most squirrels. I love sunbathing in the backyard. If you rub my belly I will love you for life."

This is not your average bar. In fact, it's not a bar at all. Meet Our Neighbors Cotton Bar! Walk into this welcoming space and you'll never want to leave. That was the goal Reid Fogleman had in mind when he was deciding on a name for his branding and logo business. Cotton Bar strives to connect people and communities through the stories that they infuse into their clothing.

Founder and CEO of Reborn Clothing Co. Emily Neville has done more in 20 years, than most people do their whole lives. Neville is a Sophomore at NC State, proving that age is just a number. As a poly-science major with no business background, she has leveraged her leadership and service experience to become a successful entrepreneur. Emily had a great idea, and she did something about it. What could've been another idea eaten by fear and doubt, birthed into a company that is Doing Others Good and transforming the way we think about fashion.

Meet one of the best wedding and event planners that the Triangle and entire Southeast has to offer, our friend and member Sally Oakley! Sally Oakley Weddings is going on its eighth year of crafting a couples' perfect day and they're not stopping anytime soon. Sally leads a small, passionate team that strives to provide the best service to their clients. We love that Loading Dock Raleigh gets to be a part the process by providing a space for her brides to come, feel welcome, and get excited about their special day!

A little over three years ago a group of friends decided to partner together to give Raleigh its own hand-crafted spirit. From there, Pinetop Distillery was born. Although Pinetop is small scale, they pack a big punch. While continuing to work their day jobs, the team has combined their efforts to create hand-crafted spirits that maintain the integrity of the land, celebrate the ingenuity of local farmers, and provide an authentic taste that is true to North Carolina.
